"If you enter near the town of Tubac it's mostly cottonwood and lush-- if you enter the 4.5 miles to the south near the mission you go thru a mesquite mosque. Very lovely area to hike with wildlife. We saw one group of deer about seven adults and many many birds. "

"Fantastic golf and spa getaway with historical significance and beautiful artisanal shopping opportunities. Meals were delicious in town and at the resort. Very walkable and interesting town. Lot's of fine art, jewelry, clothing, rugs and pottery. The golf, "Tin Cup" was filmed at this local was..." very not desert-like. Very much worth the drive from Tucson airport. Beautiful hacienda setting and pet friendly.

"Unfortunately, they were setting up an exhibit, so not able to see everything... But very happy to see that the exhibit was of High School artists!! Fantastic! Some great up n coming artists. Always worth a visit here."

"If you have a day to spend shopping in beautiful boutique shops and fabulous art galleries, this is well worth the stop! Easy parking and walking around the shops, as well as restaurants to re-energize for more shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this village oasis."

"Nice place to visit as it has lots to see and the folks who give there time there are nice and friendly. You can see lots of art and get a taste of what is local to the area.
Also the air conditioning works very well inside.

"Located in the heart of Tubac’s art district, this “sleeper” is a true, landmark GEM! If you enjoy history, you’ll be here for hours! The quality of the presentation, diversity of artifacts, including an underground archeological dig, and the grounds are superb! You can even have a picnic here an..."d watch an array of magnificent birds migrate thru the mesquite canopy. Outstanding! The staff is all volunteers which are a wealth of information and charming! The part that I found particularly interesting was the original, complete, working printing press. They told me that they have a demonstration a couple times per month; too bad I missed it. I say, skip the shopping until you’ve experienced the Tubac Presidio; you’ll be glad you did! Admission is only $5 for adults. What a bargain!

"Walking in the door of Jane's Attic is always a little adventure. The shelves are full of quirky, fun, and useful little items that you didn't know you needed! Vintage and current fashions are nicely displayed, along with hats, purses, shoes, belts, jewelry, and plenty of other accessories. You m..."ay also find artwork for your walls, a small chair, or some pretty dishes for your kitchen. This is a stop for treasures not to be missed!

"All the stores in Tubac had very interesting and well made products. I loved visiting many of them but don't remember the names of the stores. We just kept walking in and out of doors, checking out everything."

"If we have time to make only one stop in Tubac, this is it. Even if we do not buy anything, just the abundance of all that beautiful colorful pottery is a feast for the eyes. Everything is nicely displayed and the choices are enormous. Even when we are short on time, we spend at least half an hour h..."ere.
There is a "Clearance" area, where things are marked down. We have found tremendous bargains here. Garden pots that were originally $25, because of a scratch (who can see it?) or the slightest surface chip, get marked down to $8.00. Have bought many such pots, and they have lasted very nicely. Almost all the items in this area have a very minor meaningless flaw. After we park the car, that is where we head to first. This "bargain basement" is at the very end of the long, narrow "lean to" structure outside. Facing "La Paloma" it is all the way to the right. No signs, but you can tell from the red price markings.
It can be very hot outside, but the inside is most pleasantly air con...

"I could wander around this shop all day. So many treasures to see and some of them to take home. Last time we were in Tubac we visited the store and i bought a handbag. I left it in Australia. So when we went to Tucson we just had to drive to Tubac to buy another one. Don't misses this gem!"

"I was drawn here more by curiosity than anything else. On arrival in Tubac it took me some time to find the park which is situated at the end of the main street and around the corner. It didn't look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving.
This park has to be one of the best of its k..."ind I have had the privilege to visit. Set aside an hour or two and you won't be disappointed.

"The Tubac section of the Anza Trail is part of a much longer historical trail (only partly realized) that commemorates the route taken by Juan Batista de Anza from Mexico to San Francisco during the 18th century. In Tubac, the trail goes by the Tubac Presidio and follows the Santa Cruz River. The di..."rt trail wanders through mesquite and cottonwood groves. The wooded water's edge provides great habitat for birds, and we've seen a wide variety on our walks. Lots of warbles, humingbirds, hawks, flycatchers. etc. A peaceful oasis in the desert, accessible from several public sites.

"Be prepared for sensory overload! This property has a huge selection of very colorful pottery, clothing, blankets, jewelry, glassware, metalworks, and other handmade works of art. Items are sourced from not only Mexico, but also Guatemala & Ecuador. I am not really a pottery collector, but I spent ..."over an hour here browsing and was impressed with the breadth and beauty of items offered. Bought some colorful woven eyeglass cases and zip purses as gifts. Highly recommend!

"Our visit to Tubac wouldn't have been complete without stopping by the Newby Gallery. Delightful sculpture garden--lots of sculptures of children reading and playing. We even visited with Abe Lincoln on a bench (fun photo opp) Excellent gallery with a beautiful and inspiring collection. A must see i..."f you're in Tubac

"Tubac Golf Resort is truly one of my favorite places to visit. It's normally not over crowded, the golf course is beyound beautiful and interesting. Gorgeous trees, you might even see an occasional cow around on the course. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay there and want to go again ASAP...." The town of Tubac is very old and a wonderful little area of gallaries and shops and a few restaurants. It's about 45 minutes from Tucson, AZ, and about a half hour to Nogales, AZ. I love it there.

"Located in the center of Tubac this gallery is a refreshing change from traditional southwest and Spanish colonial art. Karl and Audrey Hoffman the owners, are also internationally recognized artists themselves. Customers become friends quickly and they're energetic exchanges with everyone makes th..."is gallery a place you just want to revisit over and over. Besides Karl's fine jewelry, photography, steel sculpture, painting and Audrey's jewelry and class sculpture they represent 25 contemporary American Artist from throughout the United States and the southwest. Befor we bought our painting we were encouredged to just take it home on approval to make sure it was the right fit for our home. How nice was that?
It was a real treat to see Karl's oil painting of the mission on the front cover of the Tubac Visitors Guide this year. The gallery is open 7 days a week all year round from 10am-5pm so don't miss visiting art gallery H and a chance to meet Karl and Audrey.
